Absolutely stunning location for an intimate wedding by the sea !

The castle staff were very helpful in the run up to the day and the day itself making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. Reasonably priced for such a statement venue - we had no regrets in choosing this venue it was absolutely stunning and made for some pretty stunning photos
